It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0028] The present application provides an optical hair removal device.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional structure view of the optical hair removal device in the present embodiment. For convenience of description, it is provided that the optical hair removal device has a light emission direction in front and, conversely, another direction in the back.

[0030] The optical hair removal device of the present embodiment includes a main body 1 and an optical hair removal assembly 2. The main body 1 includes a housing 11 and the optical hair removal assembly 2 includes a housing body 21. The housing 11 of the main body 1 is separated from the housing body 21 of the optical hair removal assembly 2, so that the main body 1 and the optical hair removal assembly 2 can be separated, to facilitate the replacement of the optical hair removal assembly 2.

[0031] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, FIG. 2 is a sectional structure view of the optical hair removal device in this embodiment. FIG. 3 is a three-dimensional structure view of the main body 1 in this embodiment. FIG. 4 is a sectional structure view of the main body 1 in this embodiment. The main body 1 includes a housing and a control main board 12 provided inside the housing. In this embodiment, the control main board 12 is a printed circuit board.

[0032] The main body 1 is also provided with a battery 13, and the housing 11 is provided with a holding cavity, and the battery 13 is located in the holding cavity. The battery 13 is electrically connected to the control board 12 to power the entire optical hair removal device. Specifically, the battery 13 may be a lithium battery 13. Then when the power input terminal 14 is connected to a power source, the control main board 12 may control charging of the battery 13.

[0033] Further, the rear end of the main body 1 is provided with a power input terminal 14, the power input terminal 14 is electrically connected to the control main board 12, and the control main board 12 controls the power to be input. Since the battery 13 is electrically connected to the control main board 12, the control main board 12 can control charging of the battery 13 when the power input terminal 14 is connected to a power source.

[0034] In other embodiments, there are a plurality of main bodies 1, each main body is provided with the battery 13, and when the battery 13 of the main body 1 is depleted, the battery 13 can be replaced immediately with another main body 1 with a full charged battery 13, so that the plurality of main bodies 1 can be used alternately, thereby increasing the length of time for continuous use of the optical hair removal device.

[0035] The optical hair removal device also includes an adapter (not shown). The adapter and the main body 1 are provided separately from each other. The adapter and the main body 1 are electrically connected to the control main board 12 by wires.

The adapter is provided separately from the main body 1, so that when the optical hair removal device is used, there is no need to hold the adapter to increase the weight, so that the hair removal operation is more lightweight.

[0036] Specifically, the wire includes a first wire and a second wire provided at two ends of the adapter. One end of the first wire is electrically connected to the adapter and another end of the first wire is provided with a plug to electrically connect to a fixed socket. One end of the second wire is electrically connected to the adapter and another end of the second wire is electrically connected to the main body 1. Specifically, since the power input terminal 14 is electrically connected to the control main board 12, and the control main board 12 is electrically connected to the battery 13, the control main board 12 can control charging of the battery 13 when the adapter and the wire are energized.

[0037] The power input terminal 14 is electrically connected to the control main board 12, and another end of the second wire can be electrically connected to the control main board 12 by its' electrical connection to the power input terminal 14. At this time, the adapter and the power input terminal 14 can not only charge the optical hair removal device containing the battery 13, but also directly electrically connect and energize the optical hair removal device, i.e., even if the main body 1 is not provided with the battery 13 or the battery 13 is damaged, the adapter and the power input terminal 14 can cooperate to power the optical hair removal device to enable the optical hair removal to be continued to be used.
